I'd like to query whether most agree that dovecot is better than
uw-imapd & whether it is going to remain a part of the Fedora/Redhat
projects and is therefore worthwhile sticking with? I say this because
I am seriously considering going back to uw-imapd. I think dovecot is
much slower - & without apparent reason - on 2 systems that I have
changed over (one an older machine running FC1 and another a newer
system with FC2) that ran uw-imapd a lot faster. Also I keep getting a
really irritating "invalid mask" error that I never got with uw-imapd.
I'm doing more research before throwing the bath water out with the baby.
I've heard positive stuff on this list about dovecot - has anyone else
had my sort of problems? Anyone fixed them?
Oh - I do access the email via from multiple machines Squirrel-mail,
Thunderbird & sometimes my collegue will also go in & have a look so
simultaneous access is possible. I know that dovecot is not designed to
share the mailbox (or Linux isn't - whatever) but uw-imapd never seemed
to have a problem.
